We know how important it is for a garment to fit properly and feel right, so we take time to explain a garment’s fit, style and material on each item’s page.

If they don’t have the information to hand, they’ll be sure to get back to you as soon as possible.

We focus on sourcing premium materials that include organic, recycled and fibres certified by Textile Exchange’s animal-welfare standards. We’re always seeking ways to empower the people who make our work possible and create positive change for our wider communities, whether that is through charity partnerships or our Gender Equality in the Supply Chain strategy.

Our signature COS carrier bag is made from 100% paper and is designed for recycling. It’s crafted from material from well-managed FSC®-certified forests, recycled materials, and other controlled sources, including the handles, which means you can simply place the whole bag in your recycling after you’re finished with it. The tissue paper we use to wrap our products in store can be recycled too – and is made from 50% recycled paper. Please check your local recycling facility to find out what services your community offers. 

Our suit carriers are now made from 100% recycled polypropylene, with no additional hardware to enable recycling where possible as these would not need to be removed. We have also switched our gift cards from plastic to a recycled paper material. 

Separate waste collection. Check your local municipal guidelines.

Any COS fragrance or candle labelled as ‘vegan’ indicates that the formula contains no ingredients of animal origin – such as beeswax, carmine or xanthan gum. For information on animal testing for our cosmetic products, please see the H&M Group’s Animal Welfare Policy.  ‘Vegan’ is used on COS' own cosmetic products to help the customer make an informed decision selecting a formula not containing any ingredients of animal origin. Vegan ingredients can be natural or synthetic. We do not use the term 'vegan' to state or imply that the formula has a positive or no impact on the environment or is less damaging to the environment than other formulas. 

Any COS fragrance labelled with 'natural origin’ indicates that we have followed guidelines and methods from ISO 16128, an international standard for natural and organic cosmetics. The standard states that a ‘natural ingredient’ is unchanged from its natural state, and a ‘naturally derived ingredient’ has a natural source but has undergone some processing. If processed, the ingredient must retain more than 50% of its original natural structure.     

The percentage of natural origin ingredients is stated online to help you make an informed decision on selecting a formula. Synthetic ingredients can be included in the formula. We do not use ‘natural’ to state or imply that the formula has a positive or no impact on the environment or is less damaging to the environment than other formulas.  

When we claim 'upcycled ingredients' on COS’ own cosmetic products, upcycled is defined as the way to valorise by-products, discarded and waste materials and unused products into ingredients of higher value. We classify an ingredient as upcycled if 50% or more of the carbon atoms it contains comes from upcycled materials. COS’ own cosmetic products communicate the percentage of upcycled ingredients per product. Food, beverage and flowers are examples of material sources that can be upcycled into cosmetic products. Upcycling is about taking these categories and giving them a second chance.  

We do not use 'upcycled' to state or imply that the formula has a positive or no impact on the environment or is less damaging to the environment than other formulas.
